grasshoppers?

 

[Paradise3]

Yep they are called rainbow grasshoppers.

[Paradise3]

Just been informed that they are not grasshoppers but are infact locusts. I'm guessing (from experience) that they could be quite nasty if they are locusts.

sounds interisting

 

[Paradise3]

Got a pic of one but it's not mine it's from google as mine won't stay still long enough.

Umm... if that is what they are... hope you didnt pay much...

Because that image is identical to the feeder locusts i feed my chameleon!!!

They are voracious plant eaters and do need plenty of greenery to stay alive, are ok when little but as adults they can bite fairly hard bu wont do any damage, barely pierce skin.

Dont let em loose outside, will probably surviveand devour plants

And the only thing the have in common with grasshoppers is that they are an insect lol

 

[Paradise3]

These ones get fresh veg everyday and only cost £1.

[Paradise3]

Nothing anyone can say will put me off my babies! Even if it's the truth! I would never abandon them outside and they will stay with me until they die. They get lot's of green veg to eat fresh everyday.

I have said my piece!

[Ludwig Venter]

What do you keep them in?...Remains a very unique (and could be interresting) pet.

 

[chesterscot]

nobody said you would abandon them if you read properly you where just told not to take them outside to handle them or anything

Hehe, water dragon food.
They won't stay like that for long, they'll transform into big brown flying ugly mofo one's.
And they smell.
